The o .)ject of this Company isCT topurchase and extend the Well - kriown and t•ucc , sst ul business c a rr i e d on b y th e Th ames Iron Ifforks and Ship-building Company (Limited!, at Black wall.. ;e Thames Iron Works and Ship-building Company (Limited), was established in the year :857, and has now 'Attained the foremost position in the construction of vessels of war and ships of the highest class for the commercial marine. The iron fbr these vessels, and for their armour plates, is manufactured on the premises, together with forg ings and castings of the largest class for marine engines, bridges, and other similar works. The rolling mills, steam hammers, foundries, smiths' shops, saw mills, &c., are all of the best class and in the highest state of efficiency, forming together an establishment unequalled. Three of the largest iron-clad frigates in the British navy —the Warrior, Valiant, and Minotaur —have been built by the Thames Ship-building Company, and orders have been received for iron-clad vessels for the Danish, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish navies, some of which are now in course Of construction. It has been determined to add to the existing business of the Compmy two other lucrative branches, namely, Graving Docks and Engineering, which are naturally and essentially connected with its present operations. For this purpose, as well as for the lirtge and increasing business of the Com pany, a considerr.ble extension of capital will be required as the works advarAce ; and in order to carry out the objects in view, it is prop osed to transfer to the new Company (subject to payment of the dividend for the past year) the whole of the valuable contracts, assets, goodwill, and effects of the Thames Iron. Works Company, together with its liabilities and engagements, as from the Ist of January, 1864, in consi deration 2f the payment to the Thames Iron Works Company of the sum of £275,000, of which the Shareholders in that Company wi'tl take £150,000 in fully paid-up Shares, and £125,000 in Debentures of the new Company, bearing interest at 5 per cent. per annum. The property of the Company consists of twenty acres of freehold lan d on the Essex aide of the River Lea, next Black wall, and the premises and branch works known as the Phoenix Iron Works, Miliwall, together with the valuable plant and works. - It itiWoPOeecft,3 const'uct two graving docks capablr of re ceiving ships of the la best class, for which the accommoda tion on the Rive,,- Thames is at p: event insufficient. For this purpose it is i ,ntended to purchase eight acres of freeho d land immedisloy adjoining the works, 11vin , a frontage both to Bow Creek an d t oe River Thames, whiclil nd is, at pre sent, in the. occupation of the Company, with the optiun of purchase. The proposad new graving docks will be in the immediate vicinity of the E at and West India and Victoria Docks ; and it is confidently anticipated that from their admir:.ble situa tion constant and 'remunerative employment for repairs, both of ships and engines, wi 1 be founrl. The existing contracts of the Thames Iron Works Com pan7, which will be transferred tit th: new Comp •ny, amount LO - upwards of a mil ion bud a qua: te sterling findekendently of the work in hand for the loge and rolling mi 11...), and have .all been taken on such terms an fairy to justify the anticipa tion of the same I rofitab e results which have alrotely at tended the Co a pany's operations. All the Director, of the old Company will retain their in terest in the no, Company, and their seats at its Board, and the management wi I remain in the same experienced hands which have hitherto conducted it so successfuhy, and ratted it to its present state of prosperity.

Riondet, commander of the Sainte-Barbe gunboat, on certain curious researches made by him in a lib rary at Vera Cruz, on longevity in those parts. Our readers will be surprised to hear that from the census taken in 1831, the latest on record it would seem, it appeared that notwithstanding the notorious un healthiness of the climate of Vera Cruz, there were in that year eleven persons in the district, upwards of 100 years old. Dr. Binet sent in a paper on phthisiophoby, that is, fear of consumption, which he considers to be a disorder by itself. It may be so, no doubt, but would it not perhaps be nearer the truth to classify it as a mere offshoot of spleen, or melancholy P A report was read by M. de Tessan on the writings of M. Tremaux, an archi tect by profession, but still better known as one of the most indefatigable travellers of the present time. M. C. Sainte-Glaire Deville read a paper on the limits of perpetual snow. Humboldt had as sumed that the altitude of those limits was deter mined by that point where the thermometer never rose above freezing point ; but M. Durocher after wards expressed some doubts as to the perfect iound ness of this principle, and M. Renou has since modified it as follows :—The line of demarkation of perpetual snow is at that altitude where the mean temperature is freezing point during the six warmest months of the year.—Dr. Jobert de Lamballe read a report on a highly important paper from Dr. Philippeau on deafness. The author describes some n ew experiments on the perforation of the drum er tympan of the year. In order to ascertain whether a patient labouring under deafness can hope to re cover his hearing or not, Dr. Philippeau applies a common watch to the temples, and if he hears the ticking his cure may be considered certain.

Exhibitic4, An event took place in Lambeth yesterday which will form an interesting epoch in the annals of the industrious classes of that locality, being no less than the opening of the National Baths in the Westminster-road as the South Lon- don Working Classes Industrial Exhibition, for the exhibi tion of the handicraft of the working men of Lambeth. The idea of such an exhibition was started some few months since by Mr. G. Murphy, the well-known temperhnce lec turer, and has been successfully carried out by him, in con junction with the Mission Society and others. From the success which has attended this Attempt, which was looked upon in the light of an experiment, it will no doubt be the forerunner of many similar exhibitions, though probably on a much larger scale, not only in Lambeth, but in other London localities, and in many of the larger provincial towns. Ihe committee of management, nearly all working men, who have laboured gratuitously, strictly confined the exhibitors to being bona fule working men, obtaining their living by daily labour—and so well seconded has been the efforts of the committee by the working men of the locality that there are 231 exhibitors, comprising men of all trades--masons, shoemakers, gardeners, painters, carpen ters, engineers, printers, labourers, porters, and even chim ney sweeps. The articles exhibited are of great variety, and upwards of 500 in number, and are principally the pro. ductions of the owners in the hours after their daily toil has terminated—many of them are most skilfully con structed, and display considerable ingenuity, Some of the working models of machinery are beautifully finished ; and when it is considered that they were made in the workman's own home, with the limited means at his command, and deprived of most of those appliances belonging to a large workshop, the result is really highly creditable to the industry, skill, and intelligence of the workmen. There are, indeed, many articles exhibited that would have attracted notice even at the treat Exhibition. Amongst some of the principal articles exhibited are a model of Windsor Castle and the royal train approaching, a steam printing press, a steam engine and threshing machine, a suspension bridge, a model of Yeovil Church with a com plete peel of bells, &c.—all the productions of John Perry, an ironfounder, in his own house. These models are all set in motion by a halfpenny being dropped into a box attached to each. There are also five oases of stuffed birds, executed with the utmost fidelity to nature, the production of John Hankins, a druggist's porter. Two miniature models in the shape of pillars—one to Wellington, 2ft high, and the other to Napoleon, lift high—the work of Isaac Thomas, a mason, attracted a large share of attention from the visitors. The Wellington pillar contains 600 pieces of stone, and the Napoleon pillar 550 pieces, all beautifully polished, and so put together as to present to the naked eye, but one solid mass of stone. In the Fine Arts department are some well executed large paintings on historical and religious subjects, by Charles Machers, a carpenter; several paintings, exe cuted with a common halfpenny paint brush, are marvel lously well done, by Thomas Nash, a porter ; and three plaster models, by John Levy, a hairdresser, the subjects being " Moses breaking the tablets," " Eve," and a "Child with grapes"— the two latter being original designs. In short, nearly every article exhibited is worthy of commen dation, while many are of a high order of merit. Another noticeable fact is, that in the majority of cases the articles made by the exhibition are not those in any way connected with his trade ; thus a blacksmith exhibits a model of an aquarium, a carpenter paintings, a musical instrument by an engineer, and so en, Among the articles lent for exhi bition is an elaborate wood carving, containing 4,000 figures and heads, representing the history of the human race, executed by a Greek monk of Mount Athos, and now the property of Mr. Gladstone, the Chancellor of the Exche quer, by whom it has been kindly lent to the committee. The opening ceremony took place at 3 o'clock, at which hour the Earl of Shaftesbury took the chair, supported by Sir M. Peto, M.P., Mr. John Bright, M.P., Mr. Warner, M.P., Mr. J. I. Briscoe, M.P., Mr. S. Morley, the Rev. Newman Hall, and a large number of the parochial clergy, vestrymen, and leading inhabitants of Lambeth. The large area cf the hall was occupied by from 700 to 800 working men and their families, admitted by Is. tickets. The proceedings were commenced by singing a version of the National Anthem written by the Rev. Newman Hall and given out by the Rev. Mr. Robinson, after which the Rsv. S. Eardley read the 111th Psalm, and the Rev. New man Hall offered up a short prayer. Mr. Murphy, as sec retary to the committee of management, then gave a short and interesting account of the origin of the exhibition which the meeting now saw before them, Ho also read a letter from the Chancellor of the Exchequer regretting his in abilited, from pressure of business to attend the meeting as he had promised. Sir MORTON PETO, M.P., addressed the meeting, and expressed the pleasure he felt at witnessing the scene before hint. He had for many years been connected with Lambeth as a large employer of labour. He felt bound to congratu late the working men in the locality on the rapid progress they were making in elevating themselves in the social scale. On behalf of the firm he represented he begged to present the committee with a donation of £5O towards fur thering the movement they wore met that day to celebrate. (Cheers.) BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY.—The editor's story proceeds with its usual animation, and chronicles some of the vicissitudes in John Law's eventful career. Love and finance divide the interest of the story, and a whole crowd of characters and incidents serve to gratify the reader who likes to watch an historical panorama. Dudley Costello continues his story of " Mr. Grimahaw" in his accustomed style, and the in defatigable Mrs. Bushby begins another tale. The editor is determined not to spare his readers political discussions, for " The American War" and " Denmark and the Duchies" are both subjects of articles. Monkshood enters upon a " typical consideration" of Mr. Micawber, and un fortunately finds only too many of his class in life as well as in fiction. "At the Play" is the title of a pleasant notice of our theatres as they now are; and the first part of the narrative of a ramble among the peaks and dales of beau tiful Derbyshire provides some agreeable reading. TILE NEW MONTIILY.--The many various aspects of nature, animate and inanimate, in those African wastes lately trodden by the foot of the adventurous English explorer, have already given rise to a good many essays and articles. In the New Monthly we find a careful analysis of the information we have gained respecting the vegetation of that part of the world, and the writer concludes by observing that from the new and useful plants indigenous there, as well as from the rich additions held out to floriculture, there is enough attraction in the Lake districts of Eastern Africa to induce any hor ticultural or botanical association to send out a collector and explorer on their own account. Sir Nathaniel discourses of the fortunes and misfortunes of that hero of Highland romance—Bonnie Prince Charlie. This writer is never very original in his papers, but ho has a whole tribe of authors and authorities at his command, and ho continues to compile very readable papers. Sir J. E. Tennant's " Story of tho Guns" is the subject of an interesting notice, and "'rho Last Aldenburgere" gives the outline of a his tory of some importance, Three stories are going on in this serial, none of which deserve very high praise. Of " Strathmore" we need only say that in high-flown descrip tions, fervent love scenes, and questionable morality, it eclipses "Granville de Vigne," its author's former pro duction. Mr. JORN BnionT, M.P., next addressed the meeting. He congratulated the working men of Lambeth on the suc cessful manner in which they had carried out this exhibition, and trusted it would be the precursor of still more ex tended efforts. Working men were too low in the social scale; they might do much to raise themselves by tempe rate and provident habits, and it was the duty of the Go vernment to lend.thern a hand by clearing away all obstacles from their path. He dwelt on the necessity of a closer connection and co-operation between the different classes of society, and contended it was the duty of all men who de sired to elevate the masses of the people to help to bridge over the gult which now so widely separated them from their richer brethren. (Cheers.) Mr. Warner, M.P., Mr. S. Morley, the Revs. R.Robin son. S. Eardley, and Newman Hall, having severally ad- Jressei the meeting in the same spirit, The CHAIRMAN addressed the meeting at some length. He said, when he entered the building that day he was both astonished and delighted to see the large number of articles ranged around, many of them displaying high mebhanical skill and artistic taste, and all the production:of his humbler fellow -countrymen. He felt proud of them, and it was only another proof of the rapid strides making by the working man in social progress and self-respect. Let any one contrast the working man of 1864 with the working man of 20 years back, and he would at once acknowledge the great improvement that had taken place. There was ample room, however, for further improvement, and such a movement as that at which he was now es was a great step in th e r i g h t di rect i on. Th e no bl e chairmanaistng i then dwelt long and eloquently upon the duties working men owed to themselves, their families, and society, and concluded by saying that no amount of political power that could be conferred upon them would benefit them unless they were determined at the same time socially to reform themselves. (Cheers.) He then declared the exhibition to be opened, amidst considerable cheering. The visitors then circulated through the spacious build ing inspecting the various articles, until six o'clock, when the doors were opened to the general public, and the building became crowded. The charge for admission is fixed at the low term of 2d. each person, and the exhibition will remain open until Saturday, March 12, inclusive. It will doubtless attract a large number of visitors, no less from its novelty than from its ingenious. useful, and orna mental contents, so highly creditable to the working men of South London. announcedri° to be coming to is playing in Paris with his O u ßßl sua S l success, is who Eng land on the Bth April.

SCHOOLS OF DESION.—" The collection of watches shown byMr. Benson is a large, and at the same time an in teresting one, and considerable attention has been paid by the exhibitor to the decoration of the cases. Many of them are extremely elegant in the design, and were the results of prizes offered by Mr. Benson to the Pupils of the South Ken sington Schools of Design." — Morning Post, Sept. 29, 1862.

BLACKWOOD.—" The Fleet of the Future" is the .gtet atibject that engages attention, and the im- Iportant qttestion is treated in an appropriate wanner. It is mentioned as a curious coincidence that when the first sea voyage was made by a steamer, Lord Palmei;ii.ton was Secretary at War, and that now, when our iron-clad leviathans are almost a fleet, the same statesman is at the head of the Government. After a careful analysis of the different modes of ship- building, and the new discoveries in the way of eittaek and defence which have recently engaged so large a share of paMic tention j the writer concludes by urging the Government to take advantage of every opportunity that presents itself, and not allow foreign nations to take the lead of us in Ihe adoption of the striking inventions of the day. There is great sense in this advice, and no reason whatever to doubt the truth of the concluding observation, that if our Govern ment will thus avail themselves of the chances offered to them, and " maintain the British navy in its traditional position as the first navy in the world, the future history of this country will contain records of achievements as bril liant and successes as decisive as the annals of the past dis close to us." " Tony Butler," is continued with some spirit in this instalment. Not that the hero himself does very much, but some other of the personages met with are very entertaining, and Maitland comes out strongly in his arrogant self-assumption and impertinent foppishness. The Commodore, with his vulgar brusqueness, is really quite a relief. The style of living at Mrs. Maxwell's is very aptly sketched, and we are shown how the excess of freedom allowed to the guests provoked some of them to tyrannise, and others to give themselves airs. " Louis Napoleon as a General," is the subject of an article of some length, and will doubtless attract considerable attention just now,when political affairs are so momentous and the most far seeing are afraid to divine what will next occur. There are some striking remarks on the peculiar position which is held by the French ‘Emperor, which are well worthy of attention. It is observed that " there is only one man living who knows what the feeling is of having the whole civilised world intent on his words and gestures." Further on the vast military resources of France are mentioned, and a tribute to the zeal and efficiency which has constructed this huge machine, "thus complete, it is moved by the will of one man, and this it is which causes all nations, great and small, to watch, as Swiss peasants might watch a poised avalanche, as villagers on the slopes of Vesuvius watch the aspect of the volcano, the signs from which they may divine the intentions of the French Emperor," " Chronicles of Carlingford".brings the curate before us in a sea of troubles, but he does not succeed in ending them, although he offers the most vigorous and determined oppo sition to the attacks of those around him. The author is fond of sketching very complicated situations for the heroes and heroines of the tale to figure in, and Mr.' Wentworth's situation is about as unfortunate as any of the ill-fated individuals previously sketched before us. Events are approaching a climax in the little circle of Carlingford, and the sad fate of the Misses Wodehouse excites general pity and indignation. Mr. Morgan's conduct is very ably described, and the manner in which he takes up the affair is likely enough, considering the prejudice he entertained against Mr. Wentworth. The Perpetual Curate only adds another to the long list of victims, who are crushed by the manoeuvres of the suspicious and envious. Thomas Wode house is a clever delineation of one of those selfish natures who are continually working for their own ends, and care not whom they offend, so long as they carry out their own devices. " Cornelius O'Dowd upon Men and Women, and other Things in General," is very well written, and afford some lively sketches of divers adventures, and sundry scraps of intelligence are imparted in a novel fashion. "A Letter from Schleswig- Holstein" treats of the question of the day, and animadverts upon the present course of British foreign policy. FRASER.—A lengthened article on the " Congress Correspondence," will attract the political reader in opening this number. Those of literary tastes will prefer to pass over M.Drouyn de L'huys's despatches and Earl Russell's replies, to the ensuing paper, " The Campaigner at Home," which discourses on the various aspects of memorial poetry of which we have of late years had several specimens. Dante's tribute to Beatrice, Tennyson's " In Memoriam" and Mr. Woohner's " Beautiful Lady" are the most prominent of the memorial works brought under consideration in this essay. Nis justly observed that early death is usually one of the incentives of these poems —a fact duly remembered by Edgar Poo in his wonderful pourrrayal of the sorrow for " the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore." Miss Cobbs scarcely does justice to a well improved and sugges tive paper by calling it "Hades"—an unattractive title whose meaning is not immediately perceptible. The essay recapitulates the various beliefs current among different nations respecting their future state. " From the opposite ends of the earth," says Mi ss Cobbe, "from remotest time till now, from the Brahmin to the Greenlander, from the contemporary of mammoth to the civili.ed man of to-day—all have borne the same testimony. The faith of immortality is written on the heart of humanity. There is but one Hand which could have engraved it there, and that Hand writes no falsehoods." The account of "Village Life in Oudh " is continued, and gives us some particulars respecting the official programme to be observed at births, deaths, and marriages. The weddings are a most serious affair, and their absurb ceremonials are productive of crime and disas ter, being the primary incentive to female infanticide, from fear of the marriage expenses, The difficulty of dealing with the deep-rooted and fanatical superstition of the people in some parts is clearly demonstrated. " Jem Nash, the dall boy," is a picture which, though highly coloured, is unfortunately true to life in its loading features. The cruel mistakes so often made by parents and teachers in con founding natural dulness with wilfal inattention, or lazi ness, have produced much domestic mieery ; and irrepa rable mischief is sometimes done to a boy's subsequent character and career by forcing upon him a lino of study for which he is naturally unfitted, and in which he is certain to reap nothing but discomfiture and disgrace. " The land tenure question," and other papers, are also worth reading, though the number is hardly up to its usual standard, MACMILLAN.—Tho chief attraction in Macmillan is still Mr. Henry Kingsley's tale of "The Hilly ars and the Burtons." The author appears to be draw ing the tangled threads of his story together, and the plot is gradually thickening. As yet the reader cannot unravel it, but doubtless before long he will get a clue to the discovery of the double mystery which links George Ilillyar with James Burton and Reuben Bur ton with the hidden "pigeon fancier," whose advent cer tainly bodes no good. Tho " Competition Wallah" con tinues his letters from India, discussing this month the views of what is styled the Anglo-Saxon Party. llis letters are generally characterised by good sense and shrewd ness, while he fully recognises the claims of the natives on our consideration. Archibald Maclaren of the Oxford Gymnasium contributes a very useful paper ou Private Schools for Boys. There is much sound sense in what he says, and it would be well if parents paid a little more heed to their children's physical training as well as anxiously watching their mental advancement. A want of physco logical knowledge is often the real cause of much apparent unkindness or neglect, and the snore tho laws of health are Brown eyes, Little nose; Dirt pies, Bumpier, clothes; Torn book s, Spoilt toys; Arch looks, , Unlike a boys 's ; Little rage., Übvious arts; (Three her age is), Cakes, tarts; Fall ng down Off chairs ; Breaking orown Down stairs; Catching file.

The incalculable importance of fresh air and free exercise to the growing youth is not at all rightly estimated, and it is worth notice that Mr. Maclaren expressly recommends the simple playground games for healthy exercise in opposition to any system of gym nastics unless carefully presided over by a qua. lifted instructor. " A Song of the Soil " is as usual continued at considerable length, so much so as to render it diffuse and somewhat tedious in its progress, although well written. There are several other papers, and Christina Rossetti contributes a long and not altogether satisfactory poem, in which the thought is worthy of a less rugged and absurd expression. THE ST. JAMES'S —The author of " Sackville , Chase" continues his new story of " The Man in (.;ftins," which bids fair to be a prominent picture in this magazine for some time to come. " Bertie Bray," another novel in progress, is more interest ing, if less smart. " Pythagoras and the Poets" is the title of an article of a more solid character that is worth reading; and the approaching ceremonial of the 10th of March suggests a well-written paper on " Royal Births and Baptisms," in all their variations, from the christening of the first Prince of Wales, attended by the reluctant chief tains who had first been entrapped into acknowledging their " native born" Prince, to the ill-fated little Edward the Fifth, born and baptised during his mother's "sanctuary"— at Westminster, and the ceremonial when Edward the Sixth was carried to the font—a pageant which Shakepere has chronicled in the closing scenes of his Henry VIII. Other tales and sketches are supplied for different tastes. LONDON SOCIETY.—This magazine, which is among the pleasantest and most readable of our serials, is full an ever of animated sketches, of romance and verse, of entertaining essays, and clever illustrations. We are glad to find the inte resting and well-written series of " London Papers and London Editors" is resumed. We have reminiscences of Captain Sterling, of the Times, Dr. Black, of the Chronicle, and Mr. Jerdan, whose literary recol lections have made his career familiar to many readers. A portrait of Dr. Black, which is, however, no striking resemblance, is prefixed to the article, which is full of anecdotes concerning the journalistic celebrities of the time. The recent debate on the management of the private business in Parliament has, we may suppose, suggested a paper called "llow the Shareholders' Money Goes," which gives an animated account of a battle in a committee zoom, which ends in the total discomfiture of all parties. Foot ball, as played at the three great public schools of Rugby, Barrow, and Eton, is pleasantly discoursed of. The second of the papers on the Merchant Princes of England treats of the Le la Pales of Hull, who came over with the Conqueror. It is remarked that to give their complete history would fill a bulky volume. Quite enough of it for the general reader is, however, condensed into less than a dozen pages. " The Ordeal for Wives," a story of London life that is as yet lingering in provincial retirement, proceeds with consider able spirit, but that somewhat rash and forward young damsel who appears to bo its heroine is likely to got into serious difficulties. The illustration of it by Miss Edwards is, as usual, natural and effective, which is more than can be said of Mr. Watson's "Duet," where the two faces are made so extremely sombre as to be scarcely distinguishable —an unfortunate representation of "sunny faces" alluded to in the accompanying verse. TEMPLE BAR.—" The Doctor's Wife" is very exciting in this portion of its narrative. Isabel Sleaford is married to George Gilbert. This union is sure to prove unhappy, as the parties are totally dissimilar. The account of their engagement is ingeniously described, and the foolish manner in which Isabel behaved may servo as a warning to those who persist in their romantic visions until reality undeceives them with no very pleasant teachings. Mr. Jeffson, in his downright way, is a positive relief after the exhibition which Isabel makes of her dreamy notions, and George dis plays his simplicity. To go through life fancying you must be a hero or heroine is the most likely way to become a martyr, theugh not in a very praiseworthy form. "The Streets of the World" this time bring before us a'Snargate Street, Dover." This quaint locality will be remembered by all who have been much about, its precincts, though, as the smart sketcher observes, few of the many who pass through Dover see or care to acquaint themselves with the curious spot here mentioned. " Marechal do Saxe" gives resumd of the career of that celebrated man, which may interest many readers, and they may refresh their memories concerning a man who should not be forgotten, and of whom it is hero appropriately remarked, " Such was Maurice de Saxe, and, with all his faults, wo cannot refuse him his niche in the Walhalla of glory." " Broken to Harness" is the second part of a new story by Edmund Yates. It is smartly done, and presents some worldly and some peculiar characters to our notice. " home Contrasts" is rather a peculiar sketch that sots forth the comparative advantages and notifies the distinctive allurements at home and abroad. Much useful knowledge may be gained by the study of this paper, and the most prejudiced to old fashioned things should not be too proud to learn how to make them selves and their belongings more suited to the taste of the day, and more fitted to meet the requirements of the age. There are several other articles on various subjects which merit notice, and the last of the contents, entitled " Past help," is a very pleasing little poem. The verses are de scriptive and touching in their mournfulness, and they afford a striking contrast in the death of despair and the life of indifference. GOOD WORDS.—The present number is an ex ceedingly good one, both as regards the letterpress and illustrations, It opens with the continuation of the tale of " Oswald Cray," by the authoress of" East Lynn," and promises well. We have also several interesting papers, both prose and poetical ; from the latter we make no excuse for extracting the following pretty little trifle, entitled— Deep sighs— Cause not plain ; Bribing you With kisses For a few Farthing blisses ; 1 Wide awake.

It will be welcomed in every boudoir and library where the genius of the Poet of " King Arthur" and "St. Stephen's'' is already (and where is it not already ?) appreciated. _ _ Folded hands, Saying prayers, Understands Not, nor cares ; Thinks it odd, Smiles away : Yet may God Hear her pray 1 Pedgown white, Hiss Dolly; Good night!— That's Polly, - - ONCE A WEEK' for February—published in due course with the Mae oh magazines—comprises among its ample and varied contents several more than usually interesting serial contributions to our popu lar light literature. Among these are Louisa Crow's " Blacksmiths of Hornsby," Adolphus Trollope's " Beppo the Convict," and a story in two parts called "The Gen tleman with the Lily," by an anonymous novelist. The number, or rather part, is, as usual, profusely illustrated. CASSELL'S PUBLICATIONS.—A morn beautiful aeries of cheap publications than those now issuing from the establishment of Messrs. Cassell, Petter, an i Galpin has seldom if ever been seen. The " Illustrated Shakspere" will, on completion, - form a magnificent volume. The same may be said of our dear old companion, " Robin son Crusoe" while " I3unyan's Pilgrim's Progress," will be an ornament to any library. " Tho Popular Educator" and the " Popular Natural History" aro all that could be wished. THE RAILWAY, BANKING, AND MINING AL MANACK for the present year is a perfect encyclo pedia of information on all subjects either interesting or of use to the mercantile community. It is now published at 13, Red Lion-court, Fleet-street, in place of at the old offices, in Bridge-street. THE MUSICAL MONTHLY well sustains its cha racter. The paper entitled " Musical Notes" is well written, and that on the approaching Shak sperean Festival is entertaining and well-timed. It appears to us to be rather an oversight to defer a notice of Mr. Macfarren's new opera "She Stoops to Conquer," until April, because by that timo it will, to a great extent, have become a matter of history. Ono would have thought the production of a new English opera by so celebrated a composer, would have been considered of suffi cient importance by the conductors of a musical publication to have secured for it immediate consideration. The con- Fast asleep, As you see ; Heaven keep My girl li,r me ! THE ROSE, TIIISTLE, AND SHAMROCK.—The adventures of Jacob Morrison have reached the 40th chapter, in which Mrs. Smick gives Jacob a proof of her friendly regard; and the continuation of the novelette by Feather Penn, Esq., " Harry Vow hampton," will bo read with interest. " Poland" is a noble poem, from the pen of Elizabeth Sheridan Carey; and " Misses and Matrimony," under the editorship of Capt. W. W. Knollys, is as enteresting as ever. The style in which this paper is given is so excessively attractive that ono invariably arrives at the words "to be continued" abruptly and with regret. The latter feeling, however, is somewhat assuaged by the knowledge that more is yet to tribution for the pianoforte this month is a forcible simple ballad in E flit, entitled "Spring Time is Coming," but, in order to achieve a permanent success, we must here some brilliant and first rate sonatas in addition to mere polkas, galops, and ballads. DALZIEL'S ILLUSTRATED GOLDSMITH. " The Vicar of Wakefield." No. I.— Surely Oliver Goldsmith, could he have foreseen the celebration of his genius by posterity in 1864, would have looked upon the honours thus showered upon his memory by his grateful countrymen as, in some sort, a literary, musical, artistic, apotheosis I A memorial statue of him erected in Dublin i A com memorative monument over his grave, not eo very long since raised in the Temple where the site, moreover, of his dwel ling place has given a title to the buildings that now occupy it ! An operatic version of his charming comedy, " She Stoops to Conquer," composed by a native artist as gifted as Macfarren ! Covent Garden. filled nightly to listen to the warblings of young Marlow and Miss Trardcastle, at the very time when the original comedy itself was being enacted on the stage of the Hay market : shouts of laughter being excited at both houses by the whimsicalities spoken or sung of Tony Lumpkin. And now, to crown all, rival editions, exquisitely printed, pro fusely and elegantly illustrated, and yet published at a fabulously small price, are being issued from the press in a periodical form—rival editions of Goldsmith's masterpiece, THE ECLECTIC.—The warm tribute to the great worth and noble character of Father Mathew which opens this number will be read with interest and pleasure by all who concern themselves with the wants, the sins, and the sufferings of their fellows. It is remarked of him, in reference to the terrible years of the famine, that " No wretchedness, no plague nor pestilence daunted him ; he was almost übiquitous in his incessant movements amidst scenes of the most fearful misery; he exhibited for the poor, which he never exhibited for him self, a shrewd and practical, as well as a tender mind." Mr. Itathbone, of Liverpool, who visited Ireland at that time, has given a full account of the zeal with whioh he devotod himself to succour and comfort the afflicted. Mr. Rath bone found Father Mathew's carpetless rooms filled at night with poor wanderers, who had no home, while his readiness to visit the sick and dying, in houses where typhus raged, was a little alarming to his English visitor. English Painting, in its social aspect, is discussed with fine perception and taste. Two other papers, on 4 , P oems of Rural Life," and " Problems in Unman Nature," are the moat interesting portion s of the remainin g content s. THE AUTOGRAPHIC M IRROR, other wise L'Auto graphe Cosmopolite, continues to prosper. Number two just issued sustains the repute acquired by its predecessor ; the second instalment of this new and very curious venture containing facsimiles of handwritings and signatures , as interestin g a nd various as those of Sir Philip Sidney, General Wa s hi ngton, Lord Nelson, the Poet C3leridge, Mrs. Trollope, the novelist ; and living actors as popular as Charles Kean and Charles Mathews. Besides which, No. 2 is enhanced in value by two un published caricatures roughly sketched, the ono by Leech, the other by Thackeray. " The Vicar of Wakefield!" Here is Dalziel's now before us—the initial instalment of it. Nobly-sized pages of delicately-tinted paper—with splendid typography and abundant illustrations. The latter aro charming. First of all there is the family of Dr. Goldsmith at the head of the opening chapter. And later on we have Olivia and Sophia. Altogether a beautiful edition of a lovely story—and there. fore precisely ono of those serials that ought, in justice, to command a rapid and lasting populat ity, and a very wilely diffused circulation. DALZIEL'S ILLUSTRATED ARABIAN NIGHTS' EN• TERTAINMENTS, Part lll.—more than sustains the reputation won for it as a magnificent edition of a world-famous Marvel of Romance, won for it, we say, at once by the two preceding instalments. Several of the embellishments aro in truth masterly. In. stelae° this—" Agib ascending the Loadstone Rock"— " Sindbad in the Tub"—and " Sindbad in the Valley of Diamonds." Among the illustrations of this cheap popular periodical (ride " Zobeide Discovers the Young Man Re citing the Koran") is ono by a Royal Academician—i.e., by the youngest of them, Mr. Millais.

ANTHONY TROLLOPE's New Serial Story, " Can You Forgive her ?"—" which," as Mrs. Gamp would say, " We can't," at any rate as yet—brings us (with the monthly magazines) to the third number and the eleventh chapter, each inclusively. In this instalment the reader learns all about the Pic-nic on the sands, and how, at that pic-nic, Captain Bellfield proposes a toast. Later on in the development of the plot the story will The screw steam gunvessel Torch, 5, Commander Frederick H.
